SCARF Filed Oct. 25, 1935 ATTORNEY Patented Aug. 4, 1936 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE SCARF Application october 2s, 1935, serial No. 46,397

2 Claims.

This invention relates to neckwear and more particularly to a neck scarf, and has for the primary object the provision of a device of this character which may be readily applied and re- 5 moved and when applied will maintain its proper position on the neck of the wearer and may be drawn as tightly as desired to the neck and will not become loose and thereby will not fail to provide desirable protection to the neck or l interfere with the proper fitting of collars of outer garments.

With these and other objects in view, this invention consists in certain novel features of construction, combination -and arrangement of parts l to be hereinafter more fully described and claimed.

For a complete understanding of my invention, reference is to be had to the following description and accompanying drawing, in which Figure 1 is a fragmentary perspective view showing a scarf constructed in accordance with my invention and applied to a person.

Figure 2 is a perspective view showing a scarf before being applied.

Figure 2a is a fragmentary view showing the scarf partly folded.

Figure 3 is a fragmentary view showing the loop formed in the scarf.

Figure 4 is a plan View showing a strip of fabric from which the scarf is made.

Figure 5 is a plan View showing a partial construction of the scarf from the strip of fabric shown by Figure 4.

Referring in detail to the drawing, the numeral I indicates in entirety the scarf including the usual end or draping portions 2 and 3 and the neck encircling portion 4. The neck encircling portion 4 where merging into the draping portion 2 is formed with a loop 5 extending transversely of the scarf. The application of the scarf I to a persons neck, as shown in Figure 1, is as follows: The loop portion 5 is positioned in front of the neck with the portion 2 draping downwardly in front thereof, thus covering the loop. The portion 4 is extended laterally from the loop 5 and passed about the neck of the wearer and then passed through the loop and allowed to depend under the portion 2, thus bringing the neck encircling portion into a snug nt with the neck. The scarf applied to the wearer in a manner described will be neat in appearance and will retain a snug t to the neck and will not interfere With the fitting of the collars of garments worn by the wearer.

The scarf I is constructed from a single strip 5 of fabric or any other material suitable for the purpose, as shown in Figure 4. The'strip of material shown in Figure 4 is sewed with several rows of stitching 6 decreasing a portion of the strip of material in width and providing to said l0 portion a desired stiffness. The stitched portion of the strip of material has its ends brought together and sewed to form the loop 5.

A scarf constructed in accordance with the foregoing may be worn by men, women or chill5 dren and made from any material suitable for the purpose and will, when applied, afford desirable protection to the wearer as well as providing to the wearer a neat and well dressed appearance. 20

Having described the invention, I claim:

1. A scarf comprising a strip of material, rows of stitching applied to a portion of said material to restrict the width of the material at said portion and provide stiffness thereto, stitching 25 securing the ends of the stitched portion together to form a loop extending transversely of the strip of material, one end of said strip of material adapted to be passed through the loop to form a neck encircling portion with a 30 pair of draping portions, one of said draping portions depending from the upper edge of the loop to conceal the latter and overlie theother draping portion.

2. A scarf comprising a strip of material hav- 35 ing a portion thereof folded and secured to form a looped portion arranged transversely of the strip of material and through which one of the ends of said strip of material is adapted to be passed to form la neck encircling portion and 40 one end portion of the scarf depending from the looped portion, the remaining portion of the strip of material forming a second end portion to the scarf and adapted to be passed about the looped portion and to ydepend therefrom over the 45 rst-named end portion for concealing from View said looped portion and the first-named end portion.
